<a href="/wiki/2021-07-05-12-36-41">Unnecessary optimizations cripple progress</a> from the goal that <a href="/wiki/2021-07-11-20-33-13">Note-taking should make better thinking</a>.
|
|
The time you spent making things align as if you have OCD could be spent editing and improving other notes.
|
|
</p><p>Personal notes, no matter how poorly written or unmaintained, are still valuable.
|
|
So if you have tendencies like this, just relax and correct them. :)
|
|
Trashing notes should be taken as a last resort if you're sure it is not relevant to you in the present and in the near future.
|
|
Still, you should keep in mind that <a href="/wiki/2021-04-07-18-53-58">Future-proofing your notes is only worth if the future is relevant</a>.
|
|
</p><p>Found some inconsistent titles?
|
|
Improper metadata?
|
|
Incorrect datetime format?
|
|
Just correct them as you stumble upon them.
|
|
</p><p>Other examples include:
|
|
</p><ul><li><p>Satisfying my obsessiveness over the little things such as sorting lines for the note metadata in alphanumerical order.
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Finding the perfect note system and constantly shopping for better tools.
|
|
</p></li><li><p>Consequently from the previous point, obsessing over the fact that the first draft of my notes are not perfect.
|
|
</p></li><li><p><a href="/wiki/2021-06-11-10-57-09">Collecting information only feels like progress</a>.
|
|
</p></li></ul><p>A similar dilemma I have yesterday is trying to format the metadata my Org mode files and sorting them alphabetically.
|
|
I've written a script and as I'm not experienced in text processing, I spent most of my time reading up documentation on the tools.
|
|
I did learned something with the tools but I've realized it's a big waste of time especially if my notes have grown.
|
|
If I found another hip and new note-taking method and it doesn't conform to the new ideal notes in my mind, then I should relax and try it out.
|
|
If it's good and I integrated it, I'll simply link it to my old notes.
